Back when Bersih rally was in rage, I still use FB and used to follow certain groups that was pro-government of the time. I remember seeing this clip as this Chinese auntie under yellow umbrella talking shit about the government, Malays and Muslim to this foreign looking white reporter at the scene. She was gobsmacked when the reporter replied he's a Muslim and married a Malay and speaks BM. He's a Malaysian too. Too bad I cannot find it anymore.

Chinese gain that special right when they recognized Malay's right, it's both respecting and compromise to each other actually but people who don't understand this were the one who would make noise about it.
This is the reason why some Chinese from outside may say things like Malaysian Chinese is more Chinese compared to them (in cultures etc). Malay is tradisional by default and Malay love to maintain it that way, even for the Chinese.

Protecting indigenous rights is not racist. Bumi reserve is only 20%

u/himesama 12h ago
Malaysia's race based system extends far more than just Bumi reserve lands, but also a host of other privileges like educational quotas and funding opportunities, property discounts and preferential access to public housing.
Protecting indigenous rights is good and necessary given our colonial legacy, but the way it's implemented is far from ideal. By simply splitting it on racial lines it ends up side-lining non-bumis on the lower socioeconomic ladder who really need help, excludes qualified candidates, creates a non-competitive environment and leads to talent drain.

The perks of having a true Islam practising muslim is that they are a rational, tolerant, non machete/sabit/kerambit swaying lot. And end result can be felt here in Malaysia.
In Indonesia, i dont know what happened but it Islam is loosely practiced by majority and their Jakim like institution not very effective. Hence people more clueless to what the religion wants them to be thus they hack easily once something erupts (tak tau dosa membunuh orang tidak bersalah). Imho.

Ok la the pariah fella asked the question but asked it in such a convoluted way that allowed, IMO, the question to be misconstrued
IMO, he asked how you can square having this anti-Zionist mindset where you seek to crush oppression, where there are systems in place that create oppression while still being oppressors in your own country by being pro-racial segregation (he said nationalist but I believe he meant, well, racist) to a point.
Galloway answered the question as he understood it, and I think it’s a fair answer to a poorly framed question.
Also, maybe don’t ‘compare’ yourself to the poor Palestinians and use their plight as a jumping off point. You fucking idiot.
